A Treasure from Troms Norway

Bleak and bare in this woodcut, this view of BjarkoyTroms Norway is from about 1000 AD. It represents a "Peasant Revolution" against the King of Norway King Olaf by the citizenry and in particular one Tore Hund.

Olaf ( also called St.Olaf ) was killed by Hund a native of Bjarkoy on July 29, 1030.I have not yet found Tore in my ancestor file, thank goodness, he looks a bit grumpy.

About Me

A South Jersey girl who somewhat recently retired to Northeast North Carolina after spending my whole life in a small town on the banks of the Delaware River.
My ancestors came here between 1643 and 1869 and did not move far from either the banks of the Delaware River or the Chesapeake Bay.
